Some Assembly Theatre Company is producing and presenting the world premiere of GLITCH from May 6 to 9 at the Roundhouse Community Arts and Recreation Centre.
Written and directed by the company’s artistic director, Siminovitch Prize nominee Valerie Methot, in collaboration with youth and artists, GLITCH is a bold new work inspired by young people’s urgent concerns about societal expectations, anxiety, and phone addiction.
Faced with social pressures, youth are pulled inside a giant cell phone—an absurd and terrifying world of information overload, competition, and unrealistic expectations. Met with the lure of trendy apps, a psychosocial battle for the highest number of human users escalates, asking whether the humans can break free from the vicious cycle.
GLITCH opens Some Assembly’s 26th season. An intrinsically woven artistic process uniting over 170 professional artists, diverse Metro Vancouver youth, educators, and healthcare workers culminates in this larger-than-life production.
Reserve tickets for free through Some Assembly.
